Bobby J's

Over at Bobby J’s the Housatonic is still the main topic of conversation. Ice has become an intermittent issue, with large chunks of free-floating ice drifting by without warning, making for some tougher fishing, nervous boaters and adding a new level of danger for wade-fishermen. Still, those that are fishing are finding bites, although the winter slowdown is definitely underway, with a tougher bite overall, but still some nice fish in the mix.

Over at Bobby J’s it was again the Housatonic that was getting the most attention around the shop. Anglers are fishing the northern portions of the river, from the Sportsplex north to O’Sullivan’s. Boaters have been seeing some daytime fish more recently, with some hitting the 40-inch mark. Most fishermen, on land or by boat, are throwing soft plastics on light jigheads.
